Typically real estate is long term, has tax write off advantages and you can borrow money tax free to invest in other opportunities.

You may come across pushback with having co-gendered units so as you grow I would suggest leaving room to have unit(s) that are male and female only for those who are more comfortable with living with others from the same gender. 

Most of the easy "lipstick on a pig" transformations are gone - you're often looking at more serious rehabs to make the numbers work.That said, we do have some advantages: strong rental market (lots of students, young professionals), still relatively affordable deals, and good appreciation potential in many neighborhoods.

It sounds like you’re in a great position to get started—$100k saved up and a clear goal are huge advantages.

But there's advantages for either way depending on your situation, plan, and goals.The 70% rule is just a guideline.

If you’re looking to build long term wealth, accumulate assets, take advantage of tax code, and benefit from appreciation, then play the appreciation long game.

Quote from @Hector Espinosa: Hi,I'm negotiating a seller financing deal which may be my first one and would like to ask for some advise about and what are advantages and disadvantages about seller financing deals.These are the seller financing terms:House Price: $330,000.00 USD​ (Sellers still owe ~$301,000 USD)Down Payment: 5% = $16,500 USD​Loan Amount: $313, 500​ (Monthly payments will be amortized as a 30 years loan​)Interest Rate: 4.531%Balloon Loan Term: 5 YearsMonthly Payment (P&I): $1,594.24​Closing Costs:  ~$3300 ​Zip Code: 74105Observations:       * HVAC requires an update but pending to inspection (replacing with a new one will cost ~$10,000 - $15,000 USD )     * Expected Rent Income: $2,000- $2,300 but this is has been really complicated to get a good estimate because is all over the place in the different sites I have checked

So in 3 years if you bought a $150,000 house, you would likely have accumulated $12,000 -$20,000 in equity on your $30,000 initial investment - not to mention your tenant paying down your mortgage, plus some really awesome tax advantages (3.3% depreciation, etc.), plus hopefully some cash flow!  

Are there specific advantages or potential pitfalls I should consider when structuring these activities through my LLC?

But it did begin to hit me, this realization, that I had been made a fool and have been taken advantage of.
